Pitch Conditions

The surface at Wankhede is expected to favour batters, with experts suggesting that a total in the range of 200–210 could be competitive. There is a light grass covering, offering some assistance to fast bowlers early on, particularly with the new ball.

However, dew is likely to play a role later in the evening, making chasing a preferred option — a factor that influenced Mumbai’s decision at the toss.
